Canucha bouvieri Oberthur 

 (PI. 11, fig. 366 ; Text-fig. 193) 



Canucha bouvieri Oberthur, 1916 : 272. 



Canucha bouvieri Oberthur ; Oberthur, 191 7 ; pi. 428. [Good fig.] 



Canucha bouvieri Oberthiir ; Gaede, 1932 : 168. 



Drepana bouvieri (Oberthur) Gaede, 1931 : 26. 



This nominal species may prove to be a subspecies of duplexa (Moore) and its 

 name a senior synonym of duplexa birmana Bryk, but male specimens from 

 Szechwan are needed before a satisfactory comparison of material can be made. 



Distribution. Known only from two female specimens from the type locality 

 (China, Szechwan) in the collection of the BM(NH). 



Type. Holotype 9 (not <$ as stated by Oberthur), Ta-tsien-lou, 1910 ; 

 Urepanidae genitalia slide No. 1028. In the BM(NH). 



Canucha miranda Warren 



(Text-figs. 194, 195) 



Canucha miranda Warren, 1923 : 475. [Good coloured fig.] 



Canucha miranda Warren, Gaede, 1931 : 40. 



Canucha miranda I. formosicola Matsumura, 1931 : 741. 



Separable from duplexa by the male genitalia and the colour pattern. 



Distribution. Assam, N.E. India and Formosa. Through the kindness of Dr. 

 H. Inoue I have seen a photograph of the single type specimen of formosicola. It 

 is doubtless conspecific with the lectotype of miranda although it may prove to 

 represent a distinct subspecies. 



Type, miranda. LECTOTYPE <$, here selected, labelled : Khasis, Oct. 1896, 

 Nat. Coll. ; Canucha miranda Type <$ Warr. ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 1027 ; 

 Rothschild Bequest B.M. 1939-1. In the BM(NH).
